First Baptist Church

We care about Jesus. He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. Colossians 1:15-16 Quite simply, no thing or person or idea or pursuit comes before Jesus. He is at the center of our worship, our community, our relationships, values and priorities. He is why we are here. He is not a part of our life; He is our life (Colossians 3:4). FBC seeks to be a community that cares about what Jesus cares about: we want to please Him, and live lives that bring glory to His name. We care about one another. “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” John 13:34-35 To the extent we know and love Jesus, we will love our brothers and sisters in Christ. Though we love imperfectly, we embrace love as the foundation of our actions, attitudes and identity. FBC seeks to be a family in which the love of Jesus reigns over us as the highest expression of the character of God and the life of His followers. We care about the world. This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief. 1 Timothy 1:15
